Rudolph Cupcakes Recipe
I'm sending in a couple of suggestions for Ann in East Berlin, PA, who
asked for fun holiday ideas for her office Christmas Luncheon. Last year
my sister and I got together to make several fun yet simple desserts for
the family to enjoy. We made a batch of "Rudolph Cupcakes" first. Next we
had such fun preparing a very simple recipe that made pretty green
Christmas wreath cookie type treats. They resemble Rice Crispie treats,
but are made with corn flakes instead of rice. The flakes are colored
with green food coloring, then shaped into wreaths. You then add tiny red
hots candies for extra color and taste. Both of these treats looked so
cute and festive served together on a decorative platter. Lots of color.
Here are the recipes if you care to try them. Happy Holidays!
Pam in Ohio
Rudolph Cupcakes
24 Paper Baking Cups
1 pkg. Chocolate Cake Mix
1 (16 oz.) Tub of Chocolate Frosting
Chocolate Sprinkles
24 Large Pretzel Twists
24 Miniature Marshmallows
24 Red Cinnamon Candies
24 Small Red Gumdrops
Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions. Cool
completely. Then frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Sprinkle the tops
generously with the chocolate sprinkles. For each cupcake, cut pretzel
twist in half. Arrange each pretzel half in cupcake for reindeer antlers
by pressing into frosting. Cut miniature marshmallow in half; arrange on
cupcake for eyes just below the antlers. Center gumdrop below marshmallow
halves for nose. Place red cinnamon candy below gumdrop for mouth.
Christmas Wreaths
1/2 c. butter
1 (10 oz.) bag marshmallows
2 t. vanilla
4 t. green food coloring
4 c. corn flakes
1/4 cup small cinnamon candies
Microwave butter and marshmallows on high until melted (1-3 minutes
depending your microwave). Stir once at halfway point. Stir until smooth.
Add vanilla and green food coloring. Put corn flakes in a large bowl then
pour butter mixture over them. Stir thoroughly and quickly. Grease hands
with cooking spray or butter. Shape 1/2 c. of corn flakes on wax paper to
form a cookie sized wreath. Sprinkle with the red candies. Continue on
working quickly until all of the corn flake mixture is made into cookies.
Cinnamon Chips

Zucchini Cake Recipe
Good morning to the NL Gang : Here is a wonderful recipe I found in a recipe
book many years ago. I think it was called "The Best Little Cook In Harrodsburg,
Ky." It is a cake and not a bread recipe and so easy to make and absolutely
delicious and sooo rich and moist. I make two batches and use 10" pans and then
turn it into a four layer masterpiece with any really good frosting (no canned
icing for this beauty). You would never know it has zucchini in it and even kids
love it.
Beverly
Zucchini Cake
3 c allpurpose flour
3 c white sugar
1 t salt
1-1/2 t soda
4 T cocoa
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 c oil
1c chopped nuts
3 c grated zucchini
In a large bowl mix all ingredients together at once with mixer on medium speed
and fold in zucchini last. Bake at 325 in 9x13 or 3- 9" or 2- 10" or 4- 8" pans
for 35 minutes depending on pan size. I always line my layer cake pans with wax
paper.
Icing for Zucchini cake:
1 8oz softened cream cheese
1 stick softened butter
1 pound powered sugar
1/2 t vanilla
cream all together.

Candy Recipes
Hi Nancy and Everyone!
I am about a week behind in reading newsletters, but am enjoying every minute of
them! For those requesting my candy recipes, some were posted in the
November 2nd newsletter. When my mother and I
made the Butterscotch and Cashew Haystacks this last weekend, we added a package
of white almond bark, a second can of cashew nuts, and enough Rice Krispies to
make the candy stick together with dropped onto wax paper. Everyone have a great
day!

Scalloped Potatoes Recipe
This is in response to Maryann from MN about scalloped potatoes. I don't have a
recipe, just a way of doing it, which I've done for years. Slice the potatoes
for the number of people you will be feeding, cover the bottom of a greased
glass baking dish with potatoes. Sprinkle with flour, add chopped onion or
cheese if you wish, & repeat layers. Heat enough milk in micro, with some butter
added, and pour on the potatoes. Heat your oven to 300 F. Slow cook the potatoes
for at least 2 hours. It's the slow cooking that makes good scalloped potatoes.
Use your own recipe but slow cook. Hope this helps.
Muriel, FL 87
Scalloped Potato Recipe
This is the recipe for real scalloped potatoes the
old-fashioned way--no soup. Both my mother and I always used it.
Jeanlock in McLean VA
Scalloped Potatoes
4 servings
4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
salt
fresh ground pepper
3 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons butter
1-1/2 cups milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Butter a 1 1/2 quart casserole. Cover the
bottom of the casserole with a single layer of potatoes. Sprinkle generously
with salt, pepper, flour and a few dots of butter. Repeat until all of the
potato slices are used. Pour milk over the potato slices until the top is almost
covered. Dot with the remaining butter. Bake for 1 hour or until the potatos are
soft.

Request a Honey Baked Ham
Recipe
Request on how to make mice cookies
I am looking for a recipes to make a ham similar to the Honey Baked hams that
you can buy. I love the sugary coating on the ham.
Also for Ann that sent in the Bon Bon recipes. I would like to know how to make
the mice cookies. Could you give detailed instructions please.
I am also looking for different cookies to take to a cookie exchange.
Thanks so much Nancy!
Marlene in Texas
Mice Cookies
They are tiny little mice made from dipping a
maraschino cherry with a stem (that’s the mouse’s tail) into chocolate and
attaching a Hershey kiss to it to make the face of the mouse. Then, you put the
mouse onto an Oreo cookie that is split in half. I use icing to put a holly
berry and vines on the white cookie filling and eyes on the mouse. They are
really cute.

Two Mexican Food Recipes
For Sherry in West Texas wanting Mexican Food recipes:
Sherry, in the Aug. 17, 2005 newsletter there is a Crock Pot Mexican Fiesta
Recipe that is so good. Also, in the Sept.10 newsletter there is a recipe for
Mexican Cucumber Salad that I make to go with it. This has become a favorite of
ours. And, by the way, I make the Mexican Fiesta Casserole in the oven more
often than in the crockpot as it seems we decide that we want it at the last
minute.
I am going to send the recipes in case you cannot pull them up in the archives.
Crockpot Mexican Fiesta Casserole
1 bag curshed white corn chips
1 lb. ground meat
1 can Ranch style beans
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1 can Mild Rotel Tomatoes (I use the "Milder" version as we do not like this to
be hot to the taste)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 cups or more grated cheddar or Colby jack cheese
Brown the ground meat with the onions, drain any fat. Add the Ranch Style beans
, canned soups, Rotel tomatoes and chili powder and mix together well.
In a Pam sprayed Casserole place half the bag of crushed chips, pour 1/2 of the
meat mixture over chips and top with 1/2 of the grated cheese. Repeat this
ending with cheese on top and bake at 350º till bubbly and cheese is melted.
Mexican Cucumber Salad
1 medium cucumber, diced
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (16 oz.) can diced tomatoes (I have used fresh tomatoes to good results.)
1 green bell pepper, small dice
1 red bell pepper, small dice (I have left this out when the price is sky high
on them)
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar (not white, much too tart)
1/2 tsp. (or more to taste) crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped fine
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon oil
Mix all together in a bowl and allow to sit for about an hour, taste for
seasoning. I have, at times, had to add more salt or vinegar till the taste
suited me.
This improves the longer it sits, I usually try to make it the day before.
Hope you try these.

Recipe Book Costs

Black Hole of Recipes
Hi Nancy, purrbabies and friends, I'm looking for a recipe that I keep losing.
Not everyone would understand how I can lose so many recipes. If they could see
my cookbook collection and all the recipes that I have printed they would
understand. Combine that with "cleaning up" for company and you have the Black
Hole of Recipes. My grandmother made a casserole when we were kids that my
sister and I both loved. Over the years we have both made what we hoped would be
the same recipe. I have come close but no cigar. It had noodles, hamburger,
green pepper, onion, tomato sauce, and the big question is: how much sour cream,
cottage cheese and cream cheese? Those last three ingredients are the stumper. I
can fake the rest of it I think. The ingredients are layered and baked. If you
have it would you please share it with us? I had one that was close a while ago
but my computer ate all the recipes I had saved. I hope it had indigestion!

Stuffed Celery Recipe
For Sally in PA, 11/29
To stuff celery--Mix 8 oz cream cheese with a can of shrimp, undrained (7 oz?),
and thinly sliced green onions to taste. It will seem runny until thoroughly
mixed. I can usually find the can of shrimp at the dollar store.
Judy in So Calif
Stuffed Celery Recipe
To Sally in Pa who asked for fillings for stuffed celery. I make celery stuffed
with lite (2.5 grams per serving) Laughing Cow cheese. Unlike so many other low
fat cheeses, it's very flavorful. It comes in a round cardboard container. When
I serve this as an appetizer, I can't refill the tray fast enough.

Grandma Jewel’s Stuffed Celery
8 oz softened cream cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
3/4 cup finely chopped sweet pickles (homemade sweet pickles are so much better)
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper together. Fold in pickles and
pecans. If mixture is too thick, add a little pickle juice. Fill “finger” pieces
of chilled, cleaned celery.
*This is my mother’s recipe. My mother always served this with a relish tray of
homemade pickles, peppers, etc at Thanksgiving and Christmas. My daughters
always request stuffed celery for holiday meals. This “stuffing” can be kept in
the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.

Kolachy filling
This is for Diane in the 11/27 newsletter. The solo filling is usually found in
the baking aisle. It is a short, narrow can. It is not the same as the pie
filling, which come in larger size cans. I imagine if you cannot find Solo
filling at your local store, although I would ask someone at customer service if
they do carry it, you can use some sort of preserves or marmalade. You do not
want to use jelly, as it will spread too much and run out of the pastry. I don't
have the recipe in front of me, but you just put a scant 1/2 teaspoon of filling
in the center of the squares, which mine are about 2-3 inches. As for the fresh
filling, I wish I had the recipe, since I am no longer in Ohio. This filling was
sold at Amish bulk stores. Although they did refer to it as pie filling, it was
much thicker. This recipe is time consuming to make, but it is something I grew
up with and never minded making. I have a lot of baking sheets, so I usually
roll, fill and put on the baking sheets, then bake them in batches. I didn't
like being in the middle of rolling out the next set of dough and having to stop
and check the ones in the oven.
Hope this helps.

Hi Nancy!
Im still hoping for a response from Sarah, MN. for the recipe she submitted in

of pineapple or not??? I really want to try this recipe, but don't want to mess
it up! LOL!!!
Thanks for the best newsletter, I have been enjoying it for years!!!

Thanks for info on how to print
out long recipes
Diabetes Friendly Recipes
Just a quick note of thanks to readers for suggestions of how to print out long
recipes. A special thanks to Doris and to Sandy. I used Sandy's suggestion of
holding the shift key at the end of the recipe. Great success. Thanks again.
Also I got a newsletter pertaining to my diabetes and it mentioned a website for
recipes. It says go to www.dLife.com and join
to search 1000+diabetes-friendly recipes. This is NOT TNT as I have not checked
it out as of yet but send it only as a possible resource as I often read about
people looking for low calorie ideas. Even those not afflicted with this disease
could perhaps learn some helpful tips.

Recipe for Rhubarb Pie
Rhubarb Pie
Rhubarb filling:
2-3 cups of diced rhubarb stems
1 to 1 1/2 cups of sugar
Mix together, set aside. Make the pastry below, line a pie plate with the dough,
then add filling, and add a lattice or regular crust. Cook at 400 degrees for
40-45 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT USE THE RHUBARB LEAVES- THEY ARE POISONOUS! ONLY THE
STEMS!!!
Pastry (Double Crust)
I make this recipe in the food processor. No messes!
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of salt
2/3 cup of shortening or lard
6-7 tablespoons of cold water
1. Fit processor with steel blade. Combine flour, salt and shortening briefly in
processor.
2. Add cold water a little at a time through the feed tube just until dough is
moistening and forms a ball.
3. Roll out and use or freeze as desired. Martha Stewart suggested a tip I
really like: after processing each crust, turn it out onto plastic wrap, fold
the wrap over the pastry, and shape it according to the shape of the pan you
will be baking it in (round and flat for pie dish, square and flat for cake pan
or jelly roll pan). Just freeze them, stacked, in ziplocs, then when you need
one, thaw and roll from center of dough. Voila!
Emma
For Cheryl, Ohio I made your Rum Cake tonight and it
did not raise. I baked it in a 13X10 pan and it is only little more than an inch
thick. Just wandering if that is as thick as it is suppose to be.
Alice from Illinois
God bless you Edith! :o) Would have loved that walk
you had. The weather has been incredible, but I'm sure there is something
brewing that we won't enjoy so much. Bundle up and stay safe. How were the
colors up there this year? Normally we come up for the fall peeping, but this
year with all our planning for the move to Kentucky and all, we didn't make it
in time.
I have a request for anyone who might be able to help me. The girls birthday is
coming up on the 12th, this is the first birthday that they will need to take a
treat to school. I would like to do something other than cupcakes for their
treat to share. Anyone have any ideas? We aren't allowed to send a full blown
cake. Too messy. Help!!! :o) I thought of cookies frosted and decorated. But
that's a lot of cookies. lol

Crock Pot Reuben Casserole
Recipe
Nancy on Friday, 12/1 we are to have snow and winds to 40 miles per hour. I know
that my DH was going to finish decorating our yard. Last week-end he did the
lights on the roof. I have a feeling that we are going to have a tree this year
that take a couple of day to do.
The person that posted the Reuben Casserole got me thinking, that can cause
trouble with me, that you could make this in the Crock Pot. A couple of days ago
I got on the Internet and found one at
www.southernfood.about.com/od/crockcornedbeef. I am going to make this
Friday, 12/1, so we can get other things done. Every other Friday my DH is home
for a 3 day week end. I have had to adjust how I do things so we can do things
together. It is nice since November he was gone for a week and December he will
be leaving to go for a week. These 2 trips I don't go on because you have
nothing to do.
Crock Pot Reuben Casserole
1, 16 oz., can or bag sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
4 to 6 oz., sliced lean corned beef, diced or chopped
4 to 6 slices Swiss cheese, may use reduced fat, shredded
1/2 cup Thousand Island Dressing, low fat or fat free
In slow cooker/Crock Pot, combine sauerkraut, corned beef, and Swiss cheese.
Blend in Thousand Island dressing. Cover and cook on low for 6 or 8 hours.
Serves 3 to 4.
I am going to put rye bread under the boiler and toast them and then butter
them. Then on each serving of the casserole you can add the buttered bread.
Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associates take care.
Susie Indy
Hi, Nancy and associates: I know this is long; please
feel free to break it up if you have to, but I was asked some direct questions
and couldn't let some of the others go by without my two cents - LOL. Glad you
had a great holiday; again, thanks for all you do for all of us!
For Peggy NELA: The website for computer help you requested is
www.seniornet.org. I highly recommend it
for anyone - not just those needing help. There is a wealth of information on
this site, as well as discussion groups on a large variety of subjects.
Jeff in L.A.: The cake is made with candy orange slices - the jellied kind with
sugar on the outside.
For Jaye in 55 in Luther, OK: Hi, neighbor! The blue Jello I bought for the next
time I make this gorgeous dessert (Rainbow Jello) is blueberry flavored and is,
of course, blue in color. I don't know if they have it in sugar free, but the
first one I made without the color blue was just as impressive (I just used what
I had on hand). I layered it in a clear glass dish instead of a mold, and it was
so beautiful. I used cherry, lime, peach, lemon, cranberry and grape. You can
add as many colors/flavors as you desire. It's just so impressive!
Cathy K: I don't know why your search (or mine) in the Google box at the top of
the newsletter didn't work, but I found the recipe for which you are searching
easily by using the following search parameters on a regular Google webpage (www.google.com):
"tomato soup cake" :nancyskitchen.com
You definitely need to put "tomato soup cake" in quotes so as to get just that
and not everything with tomato, soup and/or cake in the title. The space and
then the colon followed by nancyskitchen.com indicates that you want to search
only that domain and none other.
The recipe, by the way, was in the November 4,
2006 newsletter.
Doris in Oklahoma City
To Margaret from ? and Suzz NE (11/29
newsletter): thanks so much for the recipe/ideas for hot cocoa mix: I plan
to make and give this for Christmas (with a mug, marshmallows, candy cane, etc)
and now have someplace to start! (plus I'm sure I'll find 'extra' recipes to try
on the www.VeryBestBaking.com site!)
Thanks again! Sue in WA
Albanian Recipes
Hi Nancy:
Your readers always come through. Thanks, Big Jim in Jacksonville, Florida for
the Albanian recipes. They are exactly what I was looking for and I can't wait
to try them. This newsletter is the best!
Laurie from Brooklyn
Need Finger Food Ideas
Nancy, I am in need of some nice looking finger foods for a Christmas Party my
daughter is having. There will be a sliced ham, but would like some other main
ideas, recipes and also nice looking sides.
They party will be on the formal side, not overly
formal but want things other than nachos and dip, and casual party foods. No
paper plates will be used, or plastic ware. So I feel I need to fix some rather
eye appealing foods.
Thanks, Gloria, Indiana
Nancy: A couple of replies to
requests:
SHANNON in Ohio, in the 29 Nov Newsletter wanted clarification on the Black
Walnut Sheet Cake recipe I submitted which was posted in the 14 Nov Newsletter.
The recipe calls for both the cake and icing to be hot (or warm) at the time the
icing is poured over the top and spread over the surface of the cake. However,
I've made this and poured the icing over a less than warm cake and it still
turned out fine.
Sally in PA, in the same Newsletter requested suggestions for stuffing celery.
While I'm allergic to peanuts and peanut butter, I've seen celery stuffed with
both chunky and smooth peanut butter. Also, Kraft has small jars of various
flavored processed cheese product that go very well stuffed in the hollow side
of a celery stick, i.e., Old English, Sharp Cheddar, Pimiento Cheese, etc.
Practically if not all cheese
spread products go well with celery so use your imagination and stuff away. Whip
up your own celery stuffing using softened cream cheese and any one or a

Hi everyone,
Is this a group where we can post recipes from books? Even untried? I'm asking
this question because I have tons of recipe books that I want to share with
people who love to try them out.

The purpose of the newsletter is to post tried and tested recipes. Many times a
recipe may sound great but in reality my not be. We would love any recipes that
have been tried and tested.

Request for Mexican Soup
Hello Nancy and your furry executives. I have asked
for this recipe before but never got a response, so am trying again. Since it is
getting close to Christmas, maybe someone out there will have a recipe for a
Mexican soup that is served on Christmas Eve. Keep up the good work, Nancy as
your Newsletter is a God send.

Butterfinger Choc. Cake Variations (Recipe in
Nov. 28th Newsletter)
Several other variations I've tried are good also:
Use the Eagle Brand, cake mix, and Cool Whip in each
White or Yellow cake mix, Cream of coconut, flaked coconut for topping
Choc. cake mix, caramel ice cream topping, butterbrickle chips
Choc. cake mix, fudge ice cream topping, chocolate chips or Hershey pieces
Whatever I have, I try.
Spiced Almonds Recipe
Born and raised in Ohio – Rocky River, Lakewood,
Fairview – I know where you are. I now live in foothills of N CA (by choice)
Love Ohio change of seasons but do not miss the winters.
Somewhere someone was talking about the Westside Market and how great it was.
Would like to hit some of the meat shops there again. Also to get fried Lake
Erie perch and pierogi.
Here is another wonderful easy candy recipe—original came from Martha Stewart
program a few years ago.
Spiced Almonds
2-1/2 C unblanched almonds - toasted 15 minutes in 350 oven
1-1/4 C sugar
1 t. cinnamon(or more)
1/4 C water
Put in pan and cook stirring constantly until sugar is golden and almonds are
coated with granulated syrup. Spread on parchment covered cookie sheets to cool.
They are supposed to be dipped in chocolate and then rolled in cocoa but I was
pleased with the way they turned out with just the sugar coating. Takes a lot of
stirring and your arm gets tired but eventually it turns from syrup to crystals.
Made one with orange juice and orange peel which was good.

Hi Nancy and Everyone!
Nancy, thank you for posting my message requesting candy, jar gift, and chili
recipes. My message was posted before and I received quite a few responses. I've
received still more since you posted it the second time! I want to thank
everyone who responded. My mother and I had a great weekend after Thanksgiving
making homemade candies. We did make a couple of the recipes sent in. I have the
ingredients for a few more. We ran out of time, so I will be making more in the
next couple of weeks. As I mentioned before, our church is having a Christmas
Bazaar and I intend to sell some of the candy, along with jar gifts, and some
crafts.
For background information, I am not yet a senior, but am knocking on that door.
I am 48. I am married to my third husband. My first husband and I have two
children, an 18 yr old son and a 15 yr old daughter. My first husband died
almost 7 yrs ago. My son is attending college. He wants to be a sports
journalist. My daughter is a sophomore in high school. She has taken dance
classes since she was about 3 yrs old. At this point, she wants to have her own
dance school after college. My current husband, children and I live out in the
country, outside Liberty, Texas. I commute to Beaumont five days a week, a drive
of about an hour each way. I work for a law firm, where I have been for over 27
yrs now. My husband commutes to Houston, where he works for the U.S. Postal
Service. He has a little shorter commute than I do. We have two dogs--a very
spoiled 3 yr old Pomeranian named Missie, and a Dachsund named Jackson, and
about 20 cats. My daughter and I love animals. The cats are mostly outside cats,
but we have a few that come in from time to time.

This is for Cheryl in Ohio. I grew up on the near
west side of Cleveland, moved to Brooklyn Hts, then Parma, when I got married,
then on to North Royalton. Moved to South Carolina in 2003. My mother in law
lived in Olmsted Falls on Garfield and my brother lived on Columbia Rd, by
Sunset Memorial. I would love to chat with you more. I have tried to get to the
other site, where we can post messages. Nancy did give me a password, but it
didn't work, and didn't have time to request again, with all going on. Since
this is such a busy time and a lot of recipes, hints, etc, being posted, I will
try again after the first of the year.
Nancy, if you are able to post this, it would be great. If not, I understand and
will send the info again after the holidays.

Suggestion for gift for artist
Nancy I know of a wonderful gift. If your friend is an artist then they must
know of Dick Blick art supplies. One of the oldest and largest art suppliers
around. Almost all artisits recommend them; they have everything an artist would
want. I highly recommend them.
www.DickBlick.com
A gift certificate from them would be an awesome gift. They do have a lot of
stores around, so check out their website.
Hope this helps you. Dawn - Cape Cod, MA
Suggestion for Homemade Baby
Gift
For Rose in NC, I drew the outline of my granddaughters' hands on paper, traced
it onto fabric, embroidered it, dated it and made into a pillow for their
mother. It made a great gift and keepsake. Norma in Lenoir, NC
There was not room for all the messages today. If
your message was not posted it will be in a future newsletter.
